First Postseason Win for IHCC

Bettendorf -- The Indian Hills women's soccer team notched their first-ever postseason win on Tuesday, knocking off Scott CC 4-3 in the first round of the Region 11 postseason tourney. The win for IHCC came just three days after the Warriors and Scott had played to a 1-1 tie in two overtimes in the final regular-season match for both teams.

This time around, after Scott scored first, the Warriors' Amber Goostee knotted the score at 1-all with a goal in the 31st minute with an assist by Sarah Carver.

Early in the second half, Ashley King gave the Warriors the lead with an unassisted goal, but Scott's Melissa Sanchez quickly tied the match just two minutes later.

Crystal Maldonado again put Indian Hills on top when she scored off a pass from Sarah Sosa in the 75th minute. King then scored her second goal of the game for IHCC and that proved to be the game-winner after Carly Allen of Scott tallied in the 88th minute.

Janet Ocho had seven saves for the Warriors in the IHCC goal. Indian Hills had 23 shots in the match, six of those by King, with two of them finding the back of the net.

"It's the program's biggest win, in my opinion," said Indian Hills coach Doug Seigle. "It's nice to see the girls rewarded for their hard work."

The Warriors move on to the second round of the tournament on Saturday when they take on regular-season champion Iowa Western at Cownie Park in Des Moines. IHCC is now 5-11-1 for the season.
